When anyone ever inquires about Rotary the usual first question is "What is Rotary?". After that is explained the second question usually is "Does it cost anything to be a member?" The answers is YES! Every Rotary Club has dues and each club is different...

...As part of the makeup of the Rotary International Organization each club is required to pay a certain amount per each member annually which covers operation costs and a subscription to the Rotarian magazine. Add to that the additional cost of the meeting place and potential meal at every meeting. In short membership costs vary from $100 to $200 paid quarterly depending on the individual club.

We know that paying this amount every 3 months can be a burden to people who would like to be pat of a club but are unable to make that much of a financial commitment. We are happy to announce a drastic change in our due structure to give people who want to be a part of the club but are not able to pay that much out of pocket.

As of January 1, 2013 our due structure is as fallows:

A general membership is $50 paid quarterly and does not include meal costs - ($200 annually)

General members are not excluded from having a meal they would just pay it individually rather than include it on the club bill. This new structure gives those who would like to be a part of our club a great opportunity to do so at a much reduced rate and have every opportunity to be included in everything we do to serve others!
